Default Help! Forgot formula for auto copy of cell value...

Look up VLookup in Help. HTH Otto

Hi...thanks in advance for your help.
Let's say I have two tabs. The formula is going in a cell B1 in tab1.

In Tab 2, col A contains names, col B contains address, col C contains
title...etc.

I would like to manually enter one of the names in Tab 1, cell A1, and
have
cell B1 automatically copy the corresponding data from say, Col B in Tab
2.
No calculations, just straight copy.

(logic would be "if the value I entered in Tab1 A1 matches any of the
names
in Tab2 Col A, then copy the person's address here).

I've used it before...and it's straightforward...but this old brain just
didn't hang on to it. This was not a code or macro thing...just a
straight
formula you write in a cell.

THANKS EVER SO MUCH!!
